If we did a simple "press and hold 3 seconds" rule on the menu item with a progress bar displayed in the background of the item as you held it? Or maybe rather than a progress bar, it can be a "clock" running for a full circle as a icon at the left of the label.

I think it would feel like an electronical device you have to hold some button to turn it off.. and give you time to change your mind somewhat..

What do you think?

No like it. :)
Sorry, but I also hate those hold-down buttons on real machines. Always thinking, "Man, take forever..."

Instead you could easily put up an Ubuntu 9.04 countdown alert, if a delayed 
action is wanted.
